Bands such as Tough on Tobacco, Pentagram, Advaita, Raghu Dixit Project and Ankur Tewari enthralled everyone on the second day. On Day 3, metal heads moshed to their hearts content and gave a rock salute to metal monsters Bhayanak Maut and Scribe. While everything was brutal and killer on this stage. the best part of this festival was that there was music for every soul out there.

So while the metal heads rocked it at the Black Rock Arena Stage, people who wanted to chill and relax headed towards The Dewarist stage to check out Papon and The East India Company, Indian Ocean and guitarist Dhruv. The Wolves Den stage was a dance party with Shaair and Func making it a night to remember. This was one festival, with many artistes and soul-stirring music, which will be cherished forever.
